I know premature but some people in my Facebook feed were calling him to run for Governor already. I do appreciate someone that has passion and fights for everyday people, the struggle is real and is clear but most elected officials go out of their way to avoid acknowledging it.Courtside wrote:madmaxmedia wrote:Optimus_Steel wrote:This is my guess from following Florida politics, our politicians do anything for big business. Big business wants something they get it, no questions asked. They want a law removed or added, it's done. They want tax cuts, despite the fact that Florida has very low corporate taxes they get it. The mantra is Florida is open for business.
Apologize if this has already been posted. I imagine its stuff like this (not just in Florida but anywhere with slow response):

That guy just pushed himself to the front of the line to be their next mayor. Good on him for calling that **** out.

I suppose I just expected them to hold out a little longer for show.
I am curious how Japan's numbers will be over the next few weeks considering Olympics are basically out of the picture now.
Anecdotal (which I've avoided in this thread since there's no way to verify it but whatever) so take it with however much salt you need, but I chatted with some old coworkers from my time in China, and though they're not from Hubei but Guangzhou, they are basically implying that they don't believe for one second the official numbers coming out of China. This jives with the RTHK (a Hong Kong news agency) article I posted recently showing how it's nearly impossible to even get tested in Wuhan at the moment: https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1516240-20200323.htm?spTabChangeable=0
Do not forget that Fauci put his hands on his face in disbelief when Trump said something ridiculous during the press conference late last week, I'm sure someone pointed that out to him and with how thin skinned he is...Zenzibar wrote:Je K wrote:LKN wrote:Uh, Where's Fauci? Isn't that 2 days in a row now?
Yeah he wasn't there yesterday either. Kind of disappointing because he's been the main reason I watch these.
Dr. Fauci has a responsibility beyond agreeing with the President. It's obvious he's has had a fallout and cannot back Trump's lifting of these regulations so early. It's for Wall Street and not for the People who support them.
Guys wake the fk up. This new decision by Trump is not about us the People.
This is going to be a super heavyweight fight between Trump and Governor Cuomo.
I feel for you man. I have family members in the medical field getting exposed, it's worrisome. Also, it's immoral for a hospital group to act like this but here we are seeing this play out all over. Along the way we lost sight of what hospitals main goal should be and that is getting people healthy. It's become an afterthought in some cases...AussieCeltic wrote:I'm starting to get a little worried about the lack of action here in Australia. We've gone into Phase 1 of lockdowns (pubs, clubs, restaurants, cafe's, gyms's) but I live in the inner city and still see plenty of people out and about.
The other thing I'm worried about is my partner works at the hospital as a Physiotherapist and she has said they really haven't done much prep for this. They're still telling older patients to come in for non essential treatment. She works in Out Patients, mainly treating hip and knee replacements. She is still teaching GROUP classes! She has voiced her concerns to the bosses but it looks like they're trying to get as much money prior to the government shutting down the non essentials. For a hospital to be that reckless absolutely blows my mind. Putting the lives of patients and workers at risk for money is exactly what's wrong with this world.

Yeah I say get almost everything back to normal on April 1st but I think no traveling outside the USA yet and no large gatherings yet but still maintain the social distancing and washing hands until the USA gets their "recovered cases" over 1000.

Good read. I truly hope it doesn't happen, with this government anything is possible.

Wasn't sure at first from just reading the tweet (and don't want to touch the politics of it either) but yeah it sounds as bad in audio as the tweet reads.

That's nice, this guy cares about his trading of goods for money more than his life.
Not everyone is the same, most people only work so they can live a life.

It's an interesting game the government is playing right now.
Trying to find where i read tha Florida did less tests last week than they did the week before. I can't find the link. People just can't get tested.Optimus_Steel wrote:I know premature but some people in my Facebook feed were calling him to run for Governor already.

I think I have a word other than "nice" to describe it. I'm kind of amazed he even said it, then again I guess I shouldn't be. Between this and the FL governor with the weird blowdryer thing I'm losing what little belief in humanity I had anymore.

It seems like China has basically stopped a ton of their testing at the moment, unless of course you're a foreigner entering the country in which case if you test positive you probably get your photograph and personal details put up on some public site somewhere.
